Someone kept a snake. You didn’t ask questions.
SOMEONE KEPT A SNAKE. YOU DIDN’T ASK QUESTIONS.
Follow us for more glimpses into the unforgettable chronicles of campus life, where every dorm has a story waiting to be told.
Remember those dorm days? That unique blend of intellectual fervor, late-night philosophical debates, and the occasional, truly bizarre discovery? Our hallowed halls, often brimming with genius, were equally fertile ground for the unexpected. You’d stumble upon a classmate’s intricate code at 3 AM, or witness a full-blown argument about existentialism over lukewarm ramen. But then there were the creatures. The legendary mice, of course, were a rite of passage. Yet, some dorm residents took the concept of companionship to a whole new, often scaly, level.
There was always that one door, wasn’t there? The one where a faint rustling might be heard, or a peculiar heat lamp glowed from within, perhaps even a gentle hiss if you listened closely. Maybe you caught a fleeting glimpse of a terrarium, a glint of scale. The rumor would circulate, a whisper down the hall: "Someone's got a snake." And the truly remarkable thing? No one ever truly pressed for details. It wasn't about judgment; it was an unspoken understanding, a fundamental respect for the eccentricities that blossomed among us. In an environment where every mind was a universe unto itself, where intellectual boundaries were constantly redefined, a reptilian roommate somehow made perfect, quirky sense. It was just another facet of the rich tapestry of brilliance and oddity we called home. We were all on our own intense journeys, pursuing knowledge and sometimes, a unique companion. If a classmate found solace in a slithering friend, who were we to interrupt their singular pursuit of enlightenment? It was a testament to the unwritten rules of our shared existence: tolerance, curiosity without intrusion, and a deep appreciation for the wonderfully weird.
